00:00Thank you, Mr. President.
00:03Presidency is the most straining job in the world, and it's 24-7.
00:07How can you say you'll be up for that next year, in two years, in four years, given the
00:11limits you've acknowledged that you have today?
00:16The limits I've acknowledged I have?
00:19There's been reporting that you've acknowledged that you need to go to bed earlier and you're
00:23evening around eight.
00:24That's not true.
00:26What I said was, instead of my every day starting at seven and going to bed at midnight, it'd
00:35be smarter for me to pace myself a little more.
00:38And I said, for example, the eight, seven, six stuff, instead of starting the fundraiser
00:43at nine o'clock, start at eight o'clock.
00:46People get to go home by 10 o'clock.
00:48That's what I'm talking about.
00:50I'm not talking about...
00:51And if you look at my schedule since I made that stupid mistake in the debate, I mean,
01:00my schedule has been full bore.
01:03I've done...
01:04And where's Trump been?
01:05Riding around in his golf cart, filling out his scorecard before he hits the ball?
01:08I mean, look, he's done virtually nothing.
01:13And I have, I don't know how many, don't hold me to it, roughly 20 major events.
01:19Someone with thousands of people showing up.
01:22And so I just think it's better...
01:27I always have an inclination, whether I was playing sports or doing politics, just to
01:34keep going, not stop.
01:35I just got to just pace myself a little more.
01:39Pace myself.
01:40And the next debate, I'm not going to be traveling in the 15 time zones a week before.
01:46Anyway, that's what it was about.
01:49That's what it was about.
01:50And by the way, even with that, I love my staff, but they add things, add things all
01:57the time.
01:58At the very end, I'm catching hell for my wife for that.
02:02Anyway.
